india's case system was so complicated and confusing that in the 1930's the British discovered a new caste they had never encountered in their 3 centuries of presence there; assigned the role of washing clothes for the untouchables, these poor creatures believed they would contaminate others by sight, so they emerged only at night and avoided all contact with other people.
